Country Fried Steak with Gravy

A classic Southern dish is Country Fried Steak.  I think you have to be able to cook this meal to be a true Southerner.  I've been playing around with gravy some, but this was my first time trying cubed steak.  You may want to play around with the seasoning to get it where you want it, I will do that more next time I try this meal, but this is a good basic place to start.

Country Fried Steak with Gravy

cubed steak, 2 pieces
1 egg
2 cups flour, divided
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
oil for frying
3 cups milk
Heat oil over medium heat in frying pan.  Break egg onto saucer, beat.  Mix 1 cup flour, salt, and pepper on large plate.  Dredge cubed steak in flour, then dip in egg.  Dredge cubed steak a second time in flour.  Drop into hot oil, cook 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.  Pour off hot oil until you have about 2-3 tbsp left.  Add 1 cup flour, mix with oil and brown mixture, lowering heat to low-medium low.  Add milk slowly  while constantly stirring until you get the amount of gravy you would like to make.  Cook on low-medium low, constantly stirring, until gravy is desired consistency (make take a little while to thicken, but cook it slowly).  Serve over rice.
